Special thanks to my opponent for not conceding once it became clear what was happening-seeing those fireworks go off is one of my all-time favourite Hearthstone moments.Īside from the fun associated with these powerful effects, there are more design elements to admire about the Hero Cards. I've even managed to pull off the Paladin's ' Exodia' combo, which involves keeping four apocalyptic but small horsemen alive on the same turn, at which point you instantly win the game.
Whether you're stitching together zombie Beasts as the Hunter's Deathstalker Rexxar or machinegunning your opponent to death with free hero powers as the Priest's Shadowreaper Anduin, all the Hero Cards are a blast to play, though vary wildly in competitive viability. Firebat also noted that playing Jarraxus was never not fun, and the same has proved true for these new heroes. As former world champ Firebat noted when the first Hero Card was revealed, the inspiration was clearly Lord Jarraxus, another Warlock card which involved total transformation of your hero.
